Quoted by European Auto Body for $1100, Chipmaster $385. I went with Impera for $300 for tax in. They use computer color detection. Ask for Rick.

Going to try Budd's Collision first since its around the corner from me and no sense of wasting $30 of gas for $30 savings, but I'm going to get a couple quotes first..

Hopefully Budd's Collision does not take the same business model as Budd's BMW with their $190 oil changes

Budds is probably a little expensive. I know insurance companies fight when they find out a car is going there, but a couple of my friends have used them. Their work was immaculate. I'm saying this, despite not really liking Budds due to being picky with warranty work and charging a little on the high side for non warranty work.

Going to take a picture. Im thinking the part that I need repainted isn't going to be the whole bumper and its just in a certain spot.

So my plan of action is try it myself since I already got paint matched spray bomb from cawthra auto but I dont think its a 100% match so nothing to lose there and well if that doesnt work Im going to start emailing for quotes

its a small spot so I can't see them quoting me 200+ that would be ridiculous I would think this job should be $50-$100, its probably 5 min of paint matching process, 10 min of total spraying and 1h of waiting for the total passes of primer and paint

Budd's is NOT cheap, however, their work is excellent.
